TSX service technology is sustained by three pillars, as follows:

TOTAL SAVINGS X-CELLENCE ®: THE TSX SOLUTION TO REDUCE COSTS AND MAXIMIZE GAINS IN YOUR COMPANY’S PROJECT

High prices, surplus costs, and schedule delays jeopardize project value generation to stockholders by harming their management credibility. As a consequence, companies may take a risk making significant investments, and not reaching the intended results.

Having developed a business model aiming at the solution of complex demands, TSX contributes to the efficient development of the project and its conclusion within the time and value estimated, thus guaranteeing the commitment to security and quality. All this is achieved by the integration of distinct factors, such as engineering, commercial aspects, and administrative subjects aligned to a tax, fiscal and logistical perspective.

TSX stands for Total Savings X-cellence®, a proprietary methodology meticulously developed and relied on more than 25 years of experience in both the national and international market by the specialized team of TSX

The TSX methodology aims at project CAPEX cost reduction, and has already been applied successfully to over 100 projects of big corporations in different market segments. Aside from savings that may represent up to 11% of direct and indirect savings, the TSX methodology ensures an efficient management of the project throughout each and every step that has contributed to a direct and indirect tax cost reduction of more than 4.2 B to our customers.

The TSX methodology is applied in two stages – from the project conception to its completion – so as to demonstrate the commitment to the customer along the whole investment:

1st Stage – FREEMIUM

Optimization of cost reductions and project risk mitigation from the customer’s baseline (fee-free).

At this stage, the results calculated according to the baseline analyses and verifications are made available.

2nd Stage – PREMIUM

Demonstration of the analyses and methodology qualification by prior indication of a PREMIUM fee for the accomplishment of the reduction targets. After the qualitative demonstration of targets, they will be submitted to the customer for partial or full approval.

Should the project go on, the PREMIUM fee will be applied to the project subsequent stages according to the events along its evolution up to completion.
